Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 174 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 153 kt against a target of 174 kt, running 21 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 174 kt.
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 6.7 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,077 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,077 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 391 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP), the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 31L, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 10 °C and a wind speed of 11 kt from a direction of 60°, resulting in a crosswind component of 11 kt and a tailwind component of 3 kt.
Following a successful departure roll, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb, which began 1 mile west of LHBP and continued for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles and an altitude increase of 32,533 feet to a cruising altitude of 33,987 feet. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 41 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 319 nautical miles. The descent phase that started 1 mile east of Oberthulba, Germany, saw the aircraft descend from 33,827 feet to 5,007 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft descending from 4,455 feet to 1,671 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The Airbus A321 landed on runway 07R at EDDF, with a touchdown distance of 398 meters, which was within the acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 132 kt was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 135 kt, but the touchdown rate of -138 fpm was smooth. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 527 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 90 minutes and a fuel consumption of 4,179 kg.
The aircraft touched down on runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -138 fpm, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 132 kt was slightly above the desired threshold speed of 135 kt, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 398 m was good, considering the aircraft's weight and the runway conditions.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained a very good alignment with the centreline, with a deviation of only 3.8 m from the centreline. This was a notable improvement, given the slight crosswind component of 8 kt. The total landing distance of 2,001 m, which accounted for 50% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and a headwind of 6 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 98.2%. The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well-maintained. The only minor area for improvement was the slightly fast touchdown speed, but this did not have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
